The definition of "irony"...

"PAMPLONA, Spain (AP) — An American who co-authored the book "Fiesta: How to Survive the Bulls of Pamplona" became one of their victims Wednesday when he was one of two men gored at the festival."

My brain is like an Internet browser; 12 tabs are open and 5 of them are not responding, there's a GIF playing in an endless loop,... and where is that annoying music coming from?

Hillmann was using a rolled-up newspaper to try to lure the lone bull away from others in the crowd....
I hope that tactic isn't in "Fiesta: How to Survive the Bulls of Pamplona"!

Perhaps it was the Daily Mail - not red, but definitely a rag.

If I was going to hit a rampaging bull with a newspaper, I would choose something heavier, perhaps the saturday edition of the Telegraph with all the weekend supplements.

Yes, but if I wanted to irritate it or provide it with a mild distraction for a few seconds, I'd use the Mail.

Don't forget, this guy is American, he probably used The New York Times which would really piss a "bull" off, maybe not a "bear" though... :wink:
